Walid Ben Selim (MA)

A humanist singer and composer in multiple forms, in love with poetry to which he dedicates his artistic career, Walid Ben Selim was born in Casablanca on a September evening in 1984, in the old medina, between the commercial port and the fish market. He was raised by his mother, a lawyer committed to social causes and left-wing activist, who was both his reference and his support in his passion for music and who enrolled him at the age of 6 at the Conservatory of Casablanca. He left Morocco in 2002, after having been one of the founders of the "Nayda" movement, to join France where he continues his studies and his passion.
